A Call Out

A call out to the lonely

A call out to the dispossessed

A call out to those holding on

A call out to simply the best

A call out to Bob and Aretha

A call out to Louis Armstrong

A call out to the Great Caruso

A call out to those who sang the song

A call out to Martin Luther

A call out to Nelson and JFK

A call out to Mahatma Gandhi

A call out to those who had their say

A call out to Gene Kelly

A call out to Ginger and Fred Astaire

A call out to Margot Fonteyn

A call out to those who danced on air

A call out to Peter Sellers

A call out to Hicks and Steven Wright

A call out to Robin Williams

A call out to those hid in plain sight 

A call out to Jackson Pollock

A call out to Vincent Van G

A call out to Edward Hopper

You painted your dreams for all to see

A call out to those childhood dreams

A call out to the loves we lost

A call out to all broken hearts

A call out to hold on at any cost

I’m calling out

I’m calling out

I’m falling out

I’m falling out.
